·  Collaborate with technical directors to discuss memory budgets and system limitations.
·  Support artists and programmers in resolving complex problems, debugging, optimizing CPU and memory usage, etc.
·  Be the owner of the physics library, keeping it up to date and organized.

·  Solid communication and interpersonal skills (you’re comfortable talking to content creators and code-owners alike)
·  An investigative approach to problem solving – you’re not one to just scratch the surface; you care to get to the root cause of issues and come up with long-term solutions to resolve them
